ALLEN PARK -- Either the NFL is handing Detroit a backhanded compliment or the league understands that the Lions aren't worried about others' perception of them.

At one point on Friday, the NFL's website was promoting the game against Denver with a picture of Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow and Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

The headline? "Good vs. Evil"

Perhaps it's appropriate considering Tebow's reputation as the All-American choir boy and Suh's reputation as, well, not the nicest guy in the world. "Dirty," some have said.

Coordinator Gunther Cunningham made sure his players were aware of the promo.

"Yeah, coach showed us something (Friday) in the meeting," said Stephen Tulloch. "It's funny - it's on the website. It says 'Good vs. Evil,' and it had Tebow and it had Suh. Well, I guess Evil's coming to town, and we're ready to put some work in. We're looking forward to it."

The veteran linebacker, who signed a one-year deal with Detroit in the offseason, takes issue with those who think the Lions' aggressive play is over the top.

"Obviously, the media has looked at the team as a 'dirty team,' but that's not the way we play," he said. "We're just a physical team that loves to go out there and play hard, and hold everybody accountable for the way they play, and it shows week-in, week-out."

Safety Louis Delmas was more interested the things he can control rather than how the league was trying to do to promote the game.

"I ain't speakin' on the NFL. "I ain't got nothin' to do with that. All I can do is just go out there and play. They're going to put whatever they want to put up there anyway."
